About Me

I am an independently licensed clinical social worker who works with individuals across the lifespan. As a therapist, my goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship in order to be able to work together to create change, acquire stabilization, and gain new coping skills. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach and diverse lens when treating and evaluating individuals and their family systems. My training and skill set draws from psycho-dynamic theory, attachment-based work, relationship-based approaches, play therapy techniques, developmental perspective, and trauma informed. I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) which is a specialized trauma focused therapeutic approach for helping young children ages 0 through 6 years old process traumatic experiences. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a treatment to help individuals process distressing memories and emotions using bilateral stimulation. EMDR is a treatment that can be used with children, adolescents, and adults.

Education & Experience

I have a bachelor’s degree in Family Life Child Development and a master’s degree in Social Work both obtained from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW). I have worked in the mental health field since 2010. My mental health experiences vary between developing an early childhood day treatment program, providing individual and family therapy, working with foster care providers, and supervising clinical staff. I am most interested in working with individuals who have experienced stress/trauma, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, life transitions/adjustments, and anxiety.
